Recently, I started working at 5 Spice here in Springfield. It's a chinese restaurant. I was so excited to start because my big boss was awesome and I was actually excited to get back into the food business. Granted, it was way different than Culver's, I really liked the work itself.
Then, a week after I started, they switched up the management. Which wasn't a huge deal at first... I was going to miss my original boss, but I thought since I had just started it'd all be okay. But then, I had a mishap with the other manager of the store. It seemed pretty obvious to me that for some reason she didn't like me. She said some things that weren't very kind, and she purposely singled me out. I know that's put in sort of childish terms, but that's the nicest, vaguest way I can put it.
As a result, I put in my two weeks in last night. I haven't even worked there a full month. When I was talking this over with Matthew before last night, I was really struggling with the decision to quit. I hate quitting things, and after this last school year where I quit a lot of organizations, I felt angry at myself. I started to tell myself to just deal and put up with it. It was money I should be thankful for, and that's that. But then after talking to Matt and my mom about it, I came to realize that leaving the job didn't make me a quitter.
Sometimes, things just don't work out. They don't fit. This situation was one of those times. I thought that 5 Spice would be a good fit, but it just wasn't. And I do believe this is a blessing in disguise. My summer classes start in a couple weeks, and this gives me a chance to focus more on my school work. My goal is a 4.0 GPA this summer. And now I have no excuse to not reach that goal!
